Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large pan, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the onion and saute until translucent and tender, 3 to 5 minutes. In stages, add the spinach and cook until all of the spinach is incorporated and cooked through. Set aside.
- In a saucepot over medium-high heat, combine the cream cheese and vegetable stock, whisking to form a smooth mixture. Bring to a simmer, lower the heat to medium and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the yogurt and orange zest and whisk until incorporated, then remove from the heat. Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture. Season with salt and pepper and fold together.
- Coat the inside of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the remaining olive oil. Place a thin layer of the spinach mixture on the bottom of the dish and sprinkle with a third of the sage. Place a layer of sweet potatoes on top of the spinach and season with salt and pepper. Top with a single layer of carrots, then a layer of the spinach mixture and some sage. Repeat the steps once more, finishing with a layer of the spinach mixture on top, followed by a sprinkle of sage.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake until the potatoes and carrots are tender, 1 hour and 20 minutes. Remove the foil, coat with the breadcrumbs and continue to bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, an additional 10 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving. When ready to serve, top with the pomegranate seeds.

Thanks to a challenge in the TOH online community a few years back, my husband and I tried parsnips and discovered that we liked them! In fact, I started growing them in my garden and have been trying new things with them, including this recipe. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

POTATOES AND CARROTS AU GRATIN
I found this recipe in a local farm publication. I guess that's fitting, because whenever I make it, I use fresh vegetables grown on our farm. This hearty recipe comes in handy whether you're feeding some hardworking farmers, or a large group at a potluck supper. I've found that a shredder works well for preparing the vegetables and cuts down on baking time.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/fan 160C and butter a shallow ovenproof dish. Layer the potatoes, then the parsnip in the bottom of the dish with two of the sliced garlic cloves and sprinkle over a little salt and half the rosemary. It's best to keep the potatoes buried under the other vegetables because they go black if they are on top of the gratin.
- Pour the cream and milk into a large saucepan, add the rest of the rosemary and garlic, the carrots and a little seasoning. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat to the lowest it will go and simmer for 3 minutes.
- Pour the carrots and cream over the other vegetables, and spread the carrots out. Sprinkle over the parmesan, cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake a further 20 minutes until golden and bubbly.

GARDEN VEGETABLE GRATIN
A layered potato casserole, a gratin is a French dish named for both the technique and the dish it's baked in: a fairly shallow, oval, oven-safe baking dish. Nonetheless, you can make it in a standard 9-by-13-inch baking dish, more in keeping with standard American cookware. Here's a vegetable-rich version, from cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, made with potatoes, carrots, zucchini and peas.

Steps:
- Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Place the slices in a bowl, cover with cool water and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the shallots, carrot, zucchini and peas. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic, thyme, salt, pepper and mace. Stir well to warm through. Remove from the heat.
- Layer the potatoes and vegetable mixture in a 10-cup gratin or 9-by-13-inch baking dish by first blotting some potato slices on a paper towel, then layering them across the bottom of the dish. Add some of the vegetable mixture, spread it over the slices, then blot dry more slices and add them as another layer. Keep layering the casserole, like a lasagna, ending with a layer of potato slices.
- Whisk the broth and cream in a large bowl. Pour it over the contents of the baking dish.
- Bake, uncovered, basting occasionally, until it is golden and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 2 hours.

- Layer the potatoes and carrots in a baking dish: Make sure the layers are even, so that the gratin cooks evenly. Don't overlap the slices.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will add flavor to the gratin. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even white wine.
- Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices will help to enhance the flavor of the gratin. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, garlic, and nutmeg.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the gratin. Use a cheese that melts well, such as Gruyère, cheddar, or Parmesan.
- Bake the gratin until it is golden brown: The gratin is done when the top is golden brown and the potatoes and carrots are tender. The best temperature for baking the potato and carrot gratin is between 350°F and 375°F (175°C to 190°C).
